What came first: The Monkees as a pop band or the Monkees as a television show?

But soon, the guys in the band wanted more musical control, and began taking a larger part in the production and writing of songs. Eventually they took their music on the road, and even made a very, very strange movie called "Head," which also starred a little-known actor named Jack Nicholson. Ever heard of him?
